A rare opportunity to own a peaceful yet refined mountain retreat set on .52 private acres — where mornings begin with fresh pine air and evenings end under quiet, star-filled skies. Tucked among Pine Valley’s scenic, pine-lined community, this distinctive home blends privacy, warmth, and accessibility — just 3 minutes to I-8, making trips to San Diego, the coast, and surrounding mountain towns refreshingly simple. Mountain living without true isolation. Wrapped in natural wood from floor to ceiling, the soaring interiors create a cozy yet open atmosphere. A dramatic floor-to-ceiling rock fireplace anchors the main living space, offering the perfect setting for winter evenings, holiday gatherings, and slow, peaceful weekends away. The layout includes one enclosed primary bedroom, three bathrooms, and an expansive loft spanning the length of the home — a striking architectural feature providing exceptional flexibility for additional sleeping space, a secondary living area, office, game room, or creative retreat. Recent improvements include a newer roof and updated mini-split heating and air-conditioning systems for efficient year-round comfort. AB38 Inspection/Clearance complete. Offered with the option to purchase fully furnished, allowing for a seamless transition into mountain living as a full-time residence, weekend escape, or second home. With over half an acre of privacy and close proximity to hiking, biking, and outdoor recreation, this Scrub Jay Lane property captures the character, serenity, and slower pace that define Pine Valley living.
